IBM Thinkpad T43 1.86GHz 512MB 40GB Laptop Notebook CDRW/DVD Windows XP Pro

This computer does everything I need--surf the web, write E-mails, watch movies, create backup DVDs of data, and synchronize with my smartphone. The keyboard is great, screen is good and overall quality is very good.

The item arrived super-fast, so I have no quarrels with that. However, the laptop was in worse condition than described by the seller: on the outside everything was nice and shiny, but I guess nobody bothered to dust the inside of the poor thing. It took me about 20 minute and two cans of compressed air to make it look "normal"; the laptop came with a few missing screws, so I had to buy those as well; it coms with Windows XP Pro, SP1, so you'll need to do ALL the updates in the past 5 years. Loads of fun...

All in all, the laptop runs great (once cleaned) and it was definitely worth its price.

Data sales co. is great. They are very helpful and sell quality computers. They are wiling to answer your questions if you will e-mail them. The computer was received in new condition. Everything worked well. I am very pleased with this purchase.

I did upgrade the memory and replaced the hard drive although they were in good working order. The 2668 is capable of running video for presenations with a good video output with memory. It is a very nice computer. Light and easy to use.

Getting ready to upgrade to Windows 7!

1st, let me start by saying, I've never really been the biggest fan of laptops in general but for this I have to make an exception. Windows XP will always be BETTER than all other operating systems. Yeah I said it! From my experience with the more advanced windows such as windows 7/Vista they have always been too faulty with all sorts of random errors: Slow starting up, Trouble/Slow connecting, freezing, blank outs screens, the list just goes on & on. So random, Its annoying. I find that they over-do it with the more advanced systems, I really don't think most laptops are designed to handle all that. I much prefer this in Windows XP(Pro)! I find its more concrete, more sturdy, & I can turn them on with no surprises waiting for me. I have had very few troubles with it so far: Its fast, large screen, nice to look at, reliable, easy to customize. It even connected to my wireless internet right away & with no prompt. The battery life is decent as well though I always keep it plugged anyway. The only problem is this tea kettle whistling noise the battery occasionally makes when plugged but I hardly notice it most of the time. This is a win win for me in terms of price & quality esp since I find this better than any of the more expensive brands. What a Steal. Ofcourse the RAM, Free space & Memory is pretty small but that doesn't matter for me since I don't plan on downloading or saving much of anything at all. I'm sure I'll have to be very careful with this thing. I just hope the computer never crashes on me, that's my only concern. But good so far. Highly Recommended it. :)
